Abstract:

Bluff Mountain was purchased by the North Carolina Nature Conservatory last year. Over thirty rare and endangered plants grow on the mountain. Many rare birds have been spotted on or around the mountain. The conservatory has erected a gate to discourage hikers and bicyclists from roaming the mountain and trampling the vegetation.

Abstract:

Carolista Baum participated in a citizens’ drive to save Jockey Ridge and Chicamacomico Coast Guard Station. She played a pivotal role in the North Carolina Nature Conservancy and logged volunteer hours for projects such as Chapel Hill preservation.
